Question:
He says: Is it a condition for visiting the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) Mosque to stay there for five prayers, or not?
Answer:
There is no evidence specifying the number of prayers. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “One prayer in this mosque of mine is worth a thousand prayers anywhere else,” and he did not specify a number. So, those who say it is forty days, or five prayers, or such, have no evidence for this. One should pray whatever is easy for him. One should pray whatever is easy for him. The more one prays, the more reward he gets. As for specifying a number, that requires evidence. Yes.
